Geoff Paddock

Geoff Paddock spent ten years as a journalist with Thomson regional newspapers in the northwest of England, and his later career has been spent in high-level corporate communications. He is an experienced press officer and crisis manager, and developed his skills in this area in the corporate press offices of British Nuclear Fuels and Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI ), both household names in controversial sectors. Most recently he has run a small consultancy specializing in digital communications. Clients have included FTSE 100 companies. Geoff is based in London.

“Geoff and I first came together when we supported him on the re-build of ICI plc’s web site. It was great to find someone who knew so much about the business that the job we needed to do was done quicker than the norm -and this went on well after the launch. When an opportunity arose for us to start virtually from scratch on Wolseley’s plc site – we found that same level of knowledge even though he had only just joined the team! Geoff is a calm, thorough 24/7 professional and we are working on finding the next project where we can team together.”

“Geoff builds good relationships and is apt at understanding a company’s core brief. He is a lateral thinker who brings a sense of the real world to projects. His knowledge and understanding of the needs and requirements of PLC websites is second to none.”

“Geoff managed our corporate website as part of the team. With his external experience and contacts enabled us to create and maintain a corporate site that was interesting, accessible, always up to date and ahead of most of our competitors.Top Qualities: Expert, Good Value, High Integrity.”-

Below is the latest from us and the really important people, our clients. All of them are very different and they use a variety of different ways to get their messages across - from online blogs, newsletter and social media to more traditional methods like press releases.

My colleague Neil Chapman of WPNT (pictured) has been talking about what’s needed for an organisation to communicate effectively in a crisis – and in his view, crisis plans need to be practiced regularly.
Crisis handling doesn’t mean solely focusing on the media, either – getting it right involves communicating with a range of different stakeholders, depending on what’s happening.

There are many people over 30 who often feel they need to be using online marketing techniques, but who don’t want to be talked down to by the local ‘web guru’.
They would prefer to learn what they need outside a seminar or classroom, without junior members of staff looking on.

The development of social media has only been with us a few years, yet Facebook, Twitter et al are all firmly ensconced in our communications . True or false? The truth is that many of the professional communicators I talk to still feel uneasy about social media as a part of the communications mix.
